a funair day at the feild
 
i was flying keykeys old fun air 40 yesterday and was hovering with the tale on the ground and decited to power out to see how far the little 42 will pull that plane and it never decited to stop going up so i powered off did a waterfall and started going rolling back down to the earth.
im 800 feet or so at this point.
i did about 4 or 5 rolls and they were fast. never got on the power and herd crack.
the elevator folded on it and pulled the rudder off.
i think oh **** i now have no elevator or rudder.
its heading to earth and i rembered i had flaparons. i clicked them on and servived the plane.
the landing was a little ruff but it onld broke the left wing tip.
did not rip the gear out or any thing.
i glued it back together and flew it again that day.

i will never build another funfly or profile with out programing in flaperons.
